From Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge 2/28/2018: Yesterday morning, this adult visited the nest to consume a fish. Since our last post, visits by the adult eagles have been sporadic. Still, yesterday afternoon, a volunteer reported seeing eagles engaged in their aerial courtship dance. Hopefully these observations indicate that the female will make another attempt at laying eggs in the coming weeks.
